| Arthur Black was born in Toronto in 1943. His abortive getaways were launched from 1946-1994. Temporary respites were achieved in Schomberg, Montreal, London, Las Palmas, Madrid, Thunder Bay and Fergus, Ontario. Permanent liftoff was achieved in 1995 with his move to Salt Spring Island. He is presently the host of the CBC radio show, Basic Black and the TV Series, "Weird Homes." Favourite colour: guess. Academic laurels: scant.
